Vantaggi
Store manager and most department managers were really great individuals genuinely trying to meet the demands of the job. Would recommend as a quick job in a pinch. A good option for someone wanting to move up into management or find a management training program.
Svantaggi
Poor compensation. The sales quotas are very high and the rewards for meeting them is insulting. Only a livable wage if you are management or in a commissioned position- Which are a very limited positions. Too many tasks on the office side. Macy's seems to be cutting costs on labor with slumped sales. This lead to having to juggle too many tasks with too few hours. Coupled with the poor compensation, the job wasn't worth it. I was sorry to see great managers (in my location) in the store have their hands tied to solve problems due to the inflexibility of the business model set out by Macy's corporate.
